Anti-abortion groups furious as FDA approves generic abortion pill

The FDA has approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, produced by the company Evita Solutions. This move has been welcomed by abortion rights supporters as a win for evidence-based medicine, but has sparked outrage among anti-abortion groups. The approval of the generic version, which is typically used in medication abortions in the US, comes alongside the already available brand-name version of the drug, which was first approved in 2000. The decision reflects the FDA's commitment to expanding access to safe and effective reproductive healthcare options.
